TAG LINK
The eXI Tag Link device automates tag administration by providing a localized
eLink between the Halo or Assetrac application software and the targeted tag
device.
The Tag Link communicates directly with the system computer through a serial
port and may be powered by an internal 9 volt battery or accessory AC wall
adapter. The Tag Link enables the software application to transparently interact
with the tags.

Tag Link Range
The communication range for Tag Link is designed to be typically less than 12
inches. Therefore, it is recommended that the tags be located within 6 to 12
inches of Tag Link. Those tags with ‘off body’ sensor must be placed on the front
panel in the marked area. This will assure that the alarm TIC message is not
transmitted.
